Good Day
I heard someone talking about a circumstance that had brought them suffering. They said, "I'll never forget what they did to me". I said "really, why would you want to remember and especially forever?" Why would we want to keep our pain. We often say things just like this, 'I will never forget what you did' or 'I will never forget what you said'. I ask why do we want to hold onto that pain? Perhaps we should say 'I will forget what you did to me' , or 'I will forget what you said to me'. We don't need to keep these experiences that have caused us pain and suffering. This is not about the one who delivered the pain, but how we can heal from our experience of pain. Forget what caused your pain, leave it behind, stop carrying it.
You can choose this alternative and start to heal, right now.
Thank You

Perfect
Good Day
I was listening to a conversation between a teenager and a child. They were talking about a crystal. The child's crystal had been scratched and nicked and the teenager was consoling the child. The teenager told the child that the scratch and nick added character to the crystal, reminding us that it is not perfect. I listened and thought and this was what came to me.
What is perfection? How do we measure perfection? By what standard can we measure perfection? The scratch and nick added uniqueness to the crystal. So now the crystal was no longer perfect? If the crystal is unique then there can be no standard with which to gauge perfection. If the crystal is unique and then because of its uniqueness there is no standard to measure perfection then it is already perfect. Its uniqueness defines its perfection.
If we use the idea that only things that fall within confined ideas, are perfect, then we will be hard pressed to find perfection. But if we see the uniqueness of things then we can see their already inherent perfection. If your view point allows then you can see that all things have uniqueness and then all things are already perfect.
